Some movies and TV shows (and books and comics) are thrilling and engaging and let you lose yourself in an adventure. But some stories do more than move you — they speak to you. Which book, movie, comic or TV show is more than just a story, but a whole philosophy and way of life to you?

Please include a picture or clip or poster or book cover for your chosen show, book or movie. And please let us know the name, and why it speaks to you so much. Thanks!
